Anastasia Shubina & Timofey Glinin at Transmission Gallery

Anastasia Shubina and Tmiofey Glinin are featured in an artist’s showcase at Transmission Gallery with Entrance to the Void, a pinhole photography series created across the Bay Area, New York, and Boston. Using one of the oldest photographic techniques—capturing images through a tiny pinhole without a lens—the project engages with the ephemeral and the invisible. Through the use of camera obscura, the authors explore both urban and natural environments, revealing their ghostly essence and the transparency of human presence. Pinhole photography renders the visible invisible: silhouettes of people dissolve into shadows, while rays of light emerge and take on form. Entrance to the Void is a visual meditation on the desolation and haunting stillness of American spaces.

Artist’s Showcase:
Anastasia Shubina & Timofey Glinin
Entrance to the Void — Pinhole Studies
July 17 – September 6, 2025
Opening Reception:
Saturday, July 26th from 3–5 pm
